Hello!

When solving a quadratic equation, we should begin by confirming that the right side is equal to 0. The equation above, however, contains a 2 on the right side.

Therefore, the most logical first step would be to subtract 2 from both sides, leaving the ride side equal to 0.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-4x+16= 2

In order to simplify the equation the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides to make 0 in the right side and converting it in standard form

ax^2+bx+c=0

therefore   option D is correct

A certain slot machine has three identical independent wheels, each with 13 symbols as follows: 1 bar, 2 lemons, 2 bells, 2 plum
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

there are 13 symbols in slot machines i.e. 1 bar , 2 lemons , 2 bells ,2 plums ,3 cherries , 3 oranges

there are Total of 3 machines

Probability of getting bar in machine is \frac{1}{13}

Probability of getting 3 bar on 3 machine=\frac{1}{13} \times\frac{1}{13}\times \frac{1}{13}=\frac{1}{2197}=0.0004

Probability of getting an orange=\frac{3}{13}

Probability of getting 3 oranges  on 3 machine=\frac{3}{13} \times\frac{3}{13}\times \frac{3}{13}=\frac{27}{2197}=0.0122

Probability of getting a Plum=\frac{2}{13}

Probability of getting 3 Plums  on 3 machine=\frac{2}{13} \times\frac{2}{13}\times \frac{2}{13}=\frac{8}{2197}=0.0036

In-s [12.5K]

Missing Part of Question

Explain which rules of inference are used in the above

Answer:

Universal instantiation, Modus ponens and Existential generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Splitting the Statement into two, we have

"Doug knows how to write program is Java"

and

"Doug can get a high paying job"

Represent Doug with x. Then the statements is rewritten as

P(x) = "x knows how to write program is Java"

and

Q(x) = "x can get a high paying job"

In logic, A premise is a statement in an argument that provides reason or support for the conclusion.

So, Statement 1 can be written as

1. P(x) ---- Premise

Then, we have

2. Vx(P(x) --> Q(x)) -- Premise. This mean that P(x) for all values in the domain.

The universal instantiation of (2) leads to

3. P(Doug) --> Q(Doug)

The modus ponens of the above gives

4. Q(Doug)

The existential generalisation from above gives

5. ƎxQ(x)

Which means someone in this class can get a high paying job.

PS:

Universal Instantiation is a valid rule of inference from a truth about each member of a class of individuals to the truth about a particular individual of that class; it is represented by VxP(x).

Existential Generalisation is a valid rule of inference that allows one to move from a specific statement, or one instance, to a quantified generalized statement, or existential proposition.

It is represented as ƎxP(x)
